The 2016 World Series of Poker starts tomorrow with the first of 69 bracelet events. This week I’m again looking back at a hand from last year’s WSOP, this one coming from the $777 Lucky Sevens event that came near the end of the summer, a tournament that drew a big field of 4,422.
This hand comes from early on when the blinds were 50/100. I have 4,200 to start the hand, down from the starting stack of 5,000.
It begins with a maniac on my right raising to 250 from middle position.
